Explanation / Answer

Answers:

A question no 21:

Harry and Sue are married and have a child, Amy.

According to the case,

Sue's filing status as of now is Married Filing Joint or Separately. The final divorce between the two is in under process status and Harry is still alive so Sue can't be a widow and already Sue is married so she can't be Single.

As per the law, Sue has the full right to claim the Amy, as she had taken care of her for a year after she got separated from Harry.

22. As per case, we can say that there is no any legal proof to be Ronald and Nacy as Husband Wife and as they lived together without marriage will be termed as single only so Ronald is still single.

Ronald's two children can be dependent upon him but as per the case says all expenses are borne by Nancy and Ronald only takes care of Groceries which clearly states that Ronald is dependent on Nancy and how can he be independent in such situation.

23. As per the case study, we can say that Kyla is Head of Household as she does the all work to support her Mother's in Law.

Yes, in this scenario Kyla can claim on her Mother-in-law on her return as legally she is taking her care and have the full right as per law.
